Based from Pointe a Pitre, this company has been serving the commercial shipping / cruise ship market here for over 100 years. Over the past few years they have since identified the ever growing Superyacht market, and now have a dedicated professional yacht services agent - Gerard Petrelluzzi - there to look after literally anything one might need whilst visiting Guadeloupe. Gerard himself, has been with the company for over 30 years... and has an amazing database of professional marine contacts that he uses to provide a wide range of support services to visiting yachts.

Michel Collomb is an experienced customs broker, based in the industrial zone of Jarry (a few minutes drive from the marina), who came rated as being a very useful contact whilst in Guadeloupe. He has helped many yachts in the past years to clear in parts coming from abroad, making sure that everything will go fast and smoothly. Michel Collomb works a lot with Andrew Dove, from North Sails, and Captains may find it convenient to channel an initial enquiry through Andrew.
